TITLE: Annual histories
DATES: i 1934-1984.
ARRANGEMENT: Chronological, thereunder categorically by subject

DESCRIPTION: These histories, contained in binders and scrapbooks, document the activities of the PTA and PTSA at South High School. In 1978, the Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) was replaced by the Parent-Teacher and Student Association (PTSA). Members of both organizations were interested in improving South High School and worked with the school in many ways. These histories contain newspaper clippings, photographs, correspondence, copies of bylaws, certificates, and programs of various events. Later histories were expanded to include rosters of officers, committee members, and general membership, school faculty rosters, meeting agendums, minutes, proposals, and reports, reports on PTA and school projects, various PTA activities (back-to-school night, parent-teacher conferences, teacher appreciation lunches, etc.) They also contain information about such PTA-sponsored contests as the annual "Reflections" competition (including a complete Reflections 1987-88 publication, "Wonders of the World"). A copy of the "Recreation Handbook 1936-37," published by the Utah Congress of Parents and Teachers, is included as well. These histories were housed in the high school library and were used in student projects.
